Heinz Ketchup Banned (And Why You Should Avoid It)

Israel has recently banned Heinz ketchup due to its low tomato
content. However, this is not the only problem with this product.
Namely, it contains a number of chemicals and GMO compounds which
seriously affect your health. Also, it has no nutritional value.
1 – IT CONTAINS HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP
Heinz ketchup contains high amounts of fructose corn syrup which is a
toxic chemical made from genetically modified corn. When ingested, this
ingredient leads to a sudden sharp peak of blood sugar level and can
even damage the liver.
Moreover, frequent consumption of this chemical is associated with
the incidence of obesity, diabetes and heart disease, according to
numerous studies. Also, it can weaken your immunity.
Recently, it has been discovered that high fructose corn syrup is
loaded with mercury. As it is commonly known, mercury is a heavy metal
which has extremely toxic properties. Therefore, a number of medical
experts recommend that people should avoid consumption of any food that
contains high fructose corn syrup.
2 – IT CONTAINS DISTILLED VINEGAR AND SUGAR
Heinz ketchup contains sugar and distilled vinegar as well. Each
serving contains about 4 grams of sugar, one serving is about one
tablespoon. Therefore, only one small tablespoon will provide you with
unhealthy amount of sugar in just one meal.
Distilled vinegar also comes from genetically modified corn which is
treated with toxic chemicals and pesticides. Also, it contains high
amounts of sugar which is also GMO.
Hugh sugar consumption without any other nutrients or fiber can lead
to drastic peak of blood sugar levels. This is associated with pancreas
and liver damage.
3 – HEINZ KETCHUP HAS NO NUTRITIONAL VALUE
The final and very important reason why you should avoid consuming
Heinz ketchup is that it does not contain any single nutrient. It lacks
proteins, fiber or any other vitamin and mineral. It contains just a
small amount of tomato paste which has almost insignificant amount of
cooked lycopene.
Heinz ketchup is chiefly made of chemicals, sugar and GMO`s. Also,
you should avoid any food that has the similar ingredients. Try to
substitute Heinz ketchup with natural ingredients.
